Ted Enticknap was truly one of the most gifted  ICON Professional model makers...that gave so much to sooooo many during his life here on earth...
He made huge changes that made our world a better place. He helped write THE MODEL MAKERS BIBLE BOOK for the Boeing Wind Tunnel. Best of all he taught us all to be not only better model makers...but also better human beings and what a blessing to share space in his Boeing family for a short time before he retired.

Although this attached memorial is difficult to read...here is one of the latest photos from his Studebakin-baker bunch.  He was so endeared and loved...in 2007 Federal Way declared a TED ENTICKNAP WEEK where he was given a lifetime achievement award etc.

He too first and formost was an avid engine collector and over the years...flew everything from paper airplanes, freeflight, control line and dabble and crashed some pretty nice R/C models.
I know many of us have stories glaaaalor' and agore...about TED.
Lets share a few?
May he rest in peace...and our deepest condolences to Ted's family, friends, peers and fellow modelmakers who were LUCKY AND BLESSED to have his as a co-worker and friend.

Thanks Bill...for the info on Ted's engine collection.
Yes, not only on that web site but also on many other sites also contain information about his collections
Anyone who still wants info...check with homer_smith@msn.com or

here is an attached drawing for another retiring professional model maker that I too had the pleasure of working with... (How sobering....I think all of these great modelmasters shown on this drawing have passed this life except for the two other ICONs Mr. Schwartzwelder and Mr. Glendale that are standing next to Ted. (Art Pasa-Rosy-(Rozinits)and Rich Moran on the right side have all recently passed this life.
Ted in his favorite old GREEN WORK SWEATER is shown on the far left side of my drawing..
Ted and Schwartzeee' were always talkin model engine talk.
Ted was a master at concocking funny jokes on his fellow model makers. Although some were real doozeeee's....it truly was some kind of badge of honor to be the BUTT-END of one of his masterpieces...
He truly was the KING OF DIRTY TRICKS-N-TREATS!!!
Remember times like these...when we lose so many of our dear friends...it put into perspective just what is important in life.
Check out the quip on the bottom of this James Dean photo for some real eye-opening truth.
The last photo shows how much our Carl and Shultzie have "gone to seed!" (after a few Bud Light beers of course taken at a recent memorial for another fallen model maker Gil Coughlin who also was an avid model engine collector and gifted model flyer.

Don,
My condolances.  Sounds like you guys did some good work and had some good fun in the shop.
Is the "THE MODEL MAKERS BIBLE BOOK for the Boeing Wind Tunnel" Boeing proprietary or is it commercially available?  A quick search shows no joy.
Thanks!
Derek

You know..I had one for years...but gave it away at my retirement to a young newbee.
That book was old and outdated...and certainly not proprietary after all these years...but it was filled with so much info that was both priceless and also useless.
I will E mail Dan Price and see if I can glean an old copy.

His little .045-powered semi-scale FF Etrich "Taube", as once featured in an AT Annual, was a beauty ---- and I'll always remember his 9-foot span "Gool" FF as seen in an '50s issue of FM.

I well remember the "Gool" hanging from the ceiling of several hobby shops in the South King Co. area, the last being over on West Meeker Street in Kent...Bob Washburn's shop. As I recall, Ted was a long time outboard boat racer, too.

I remember seeing and talking to a guy in the back lot at Boeing Space Center in Kent about his '60's Studebaker wagon with the retracting rear roof, tho...I never met or saw Ted Enticknap...but maybe that was him?  Steve

PS: Schultzie...see ya at the club meeting Thursday night (Aug. 13)...same place...but earlier...

Bob Washburn and his sweet wife...They were an awesome pair. I hung out there a lot...and loved her strong coffee that was always on hand. I would go next door and buy Bob those gooeee' Rasberry filled donuts and we would eat almost the whole box.
